Pebbles Inc : Whip It Up project

It's my very first Whip It Up Wednesday project over at Pebbles Inc's blog .

And I have some step by step instructions to create these adorable Post It Note holders

 that can be whipped up in 30 minutes or less.  

 "I was still in need of last minute Christmas gifts and decided to whip up these post-it-note holders when I found a few stacks of Post It Notes on hand"

And here are the step by step instructions:

1. Trim chosen cardstock to 7.5 x 3.5 inches.
2. Score at 3.5 and 4 inches in along the sides that are 7.5 inches. This is easiest to do with either a scoring tool (e.g., Martha Stewart's Score Board) or a paper trimmer with scoring blade.
3. Fold at score marks, up and over, and the basic structure is completed.
4. Take a stack of post it notes and glue to the bottom of the holder.
5. From here, it's really up to you how you want to decorate your holder.

Happy Merry Christmas eve from a wet Singapore ! 

Thinking of all my blogging friends round the world as 

we celebrate yet another Christmas . 

Praying you will all be warm and safe and happy with those you love most ! 

And sharing some more holiday ideas here today. 

I found these Christmas tree candle holders and thought 

they would be great brad organizers  to be given to a scrappy , crafty pal. ;) 

The Christmas brads here - sock monkey, peppermint candy, holiday lights, gingerbread men are all Eyelet Outlet's. 

And cards featuring some of the same brads too. 

Papers are Echo Park's - Holly Jolly Christmas . 

My Little Shoebox - Audrey

Taking a little break from holiday creations today 

to share some everyday cards . 

The MLSB Audrey line is such a pretty one , 

perfect for all occasions . 

The yellow felt flowers here are by Chelley Bean Designs.

The sentiments are by Bellla Blvd.

Ribbon diecuts by Cottage Cutz. 

Butterfly brad by Eyelet Outlet.  

Just Chillin'

Hi , everyone ! 

Trust  this is the time to kick back the heels , sit back 

and catch our breathes a little in the days just before Christmas. LOL! 

And a card today that I can share that expresses that sentiment exactly - 

I have used the Snowglobe , Winter Accessories die for the 

Fishing Penguin . 

I have cut out most of the parts using white cardstock 

and used my current fave Pebbles Inc chalk 

and American Crafts Glitter Gel pens to color in . 

Warmest Wishes for a blessed Christmas time with you & yours !

Eyelet Outlet's Sock Monkey blog hop !

Thanks for joining us for the Eyelet Outlet Sock Monkey blog hop!

These little brads are so fun to create with. 

I have a joy fold Holiday card  to share today . 

Instructions can be found here for those 

who are interested to try out this special card fold. 

I have used one of the Christmas sock monkey brads to hold 

down the card when folded. 

I also used the coordinating Sock Monkey ribbon on 

the inside of the card. ;) 

Now head on over to Kristine Berc's blog for another

 fun creation using the Christmas Sock monkey. 

& Here's wishing you & yours  Christmas joy! ;) 

Hey , hey , hey blogging friends !  

It's my first  challenge posted over at the Scrapping Cottage's blog ! 

My easy peasy challenge is as follows : 

Make a SQUARE holiday card - any size - 

and decorate your Cottage Cutz die used with 3D embellishments. 

For my 6x6 square Christmas card sample here - 

I have used the Whimsical Tree die cut out of patterned paper. 

I chalked the edges and the embossed areas for more definition . 

And for some fun embellishments for the tree, 

I have added Eyelet Outlet's Holiday Sock Monkey brad, 

gingerbread man and some peppermint candy brads. 

We will choose one random winner to win a $25 Gift Certificate to the Scrapping Cottage! ;)

With Love

with Pebbles Inc ! 

 "I just love getting a headstart for my themed holiday cards - you can never be too early with handmade cards.  I was inspired to  make some all purpose Valentine's Day cards that my daughter can give to her school friends when the time comes.  One is a double pocket card - where a gift card can be placed inside the scalloped envelope perhaps."

The Best Gift of Christmas

The best gift at Christmas for me , 

year after year ,

is eternal life which is the gift of God 

in Christ Jesus. ( Roms 6:23) 

"Christ" is my reason for this season. 

And helping me capture my belief is the Cottage Cutz Nativity Silhouette. 

I have diecut my Nativity scene out of self adhesive cardstock here

 and used American Craft's Glitter Gel pens to add highlights .

 A few choice colors and pieces of bling 

easily finishes off this Nativity scene for me . 

Blessings to you and yours 

as we celebrate this sacred season ! 

Pearl 

Dreams make 'em happen

Hey blogging friends, 

long time no see . Trust you all have been 

enjoying yourselves every which way you can in life . 

I know I am having one of my best years in recent history. 

( trust me I had been living under a rock 

for the past 5 years at least ! lol ) 

A quick, cheery card today featuring MLSB designed Cottage Cutz die cuts -

the tree, birds & clouds.  

More to share later ! ;) 

You melt my heart !

Today I want to share a Christmas card project 

where I explore using a new medium to me - 

that is using chalks to color die cuts cut out of white cardstock.  

For my snowman diecut here , I've used Pebbles' Inc light blue chalk to add

a little subtle shading to the body of the snowman, black chalk
for the top hat and blue for the snowman's scarf . 

I also used 2 shades of green chalk on the pinetree . 

For more definition on my snowman's scarf, 

heart, hands and red band on the top hat, 

I've used American Craft's Glitter Gel pens . 

I so love this discovery of using this 

new combo of using chalks with gel pens on my diecuts. 

The patterned paper used here is from the Winter Wonderland line

 by My Little Shoebox. 

Happy Crafting !

 For my layouts this month ,being that I had more masculine layouts than usual,  I decided to have fun with templates to mask in designs using different mediums - mists , distress ink , color pencils and markers. These mediums can really help bring out your inner artist!

A Happy Christmas

Still loving my older Webster's Pages Christmas pps - 

definitely they work well with a little Prima , Melissa Frances or K &Co embellie..

I sure am making  a record number of Christmas cards early . 

Treats for My Sweet

Always a first time for everything - 

how about some sweet treat boxes to share for a change ! ;) 

Valentine's Day lines have been arriving on our sunny shore - 

Pebbles' Inc With Love line 

is definitely one of them . 

The heavyweight patterned papers of the With Love line were easy to score 

and fold up and this box shape held well even after candy was added to the boxes. 

As always I had fun embellishing with everything I have on hand from the collection.
